OT would be my first choice in the draft, but my understanding is there is unlikely to be good value at pick 32? I wouldn't mind the Giants trading up this year for a solid OT if there's one projecting only a handful of picks ahead of us.

Mike Adams would be a solid pick at OT in the first .

But if they have someone like Brandon Mosely graded anywhere near as high as Adams, then they'll wait until the 3rd for their OT (and so on).

So the question is not who is around in the first ... but how much of a higher grade that player has over the next guy in the same position.

If we could trade up 3-6 spots and grab Cordy Glenn with only having to give up a 4th rounder I'd be all for it.

Mike Adams shouldn't merit a trade up. As it stands now, he'll most likely be available when we pick.

NFL conditioning programs are worth 10lbs by itself and teams can always add weight to a player.

So that same RB in college that's 5'9 187, could easily enter his first NFL season as 208 lbs.

Which puts that guy in exactly the range of the players I've mentioned (and ironically ... that's where (most) of them were in college).

Rice weighed 192lbs when at Rutgers.

Re: Per Walter's football mock.......

The reason smaller backs are less valued is a percentage game. Its teams playing the percentages, thats all.

There have been small guys who do very well carrying the load for their teams over the years. But the percentages say they are less likely to do so. Fewer "small" guys last too.

That said, the question asked was who coming out this year are considered "megget/sproles" type backs. Neither Megget or Sproles is/was the primary back on his team. I do think both Rainey and James are VERY good prospects in that mold. Of the 2 I think James has the better chance of being a Primary back, because he is better at avoiding hard colisions. But, I doubt any team that drafts him intends him to be a 20+ carry a game back. It will likely be a team that needs a 2nd back to fill the stable.

Re: Per Walter's football mock.......

[quote user="buddy33"]What about the Safety from Alabama? Couldn't watch any combine yesterday and didn't have time to read up on the event yesterday. Wasn't there mention that he could slip to a late 1st round pick?[/quote]Barron would be a steal at 32, I'd love that pick. If the Giants don't go that route in round 1, I wouldn't mind them taking Harrison Smith at 64. I'm pretty high on both of these safeties, especially Mark Barron. Pats have two 1st rounders though and I can see them taking Barron (they could use the help).
